Hi, yes you are right - it could give some bonus dmg, but not a lot, the main problem with building Rod of Ages is, that in average games you will finish with Boots and Jungler item around minute 15
if you start with RoA in minute 15, you will finish it on minute 25, then it takes 10 minutes to get max stacks, then its 35th minute.

Sunfire Cape as 2nd Item costs 2650, and it helps to clear jungle fast, gives you health and armor which is good for most bottom ganks and towerdives
Rod of Ages cost 2800, and it doesnt help you as much in jungle, and doesnt give you bonus armor for towerdives

so in Jungle, RoA is not a viable option for me,
i hope this helped to explain myself


To bring some Ability Power in, you could think of getting Rylai's Crystal Scepter, maybe instead of Warmogs, but i prefer Warmogs, especially in Solo Q where you mostly see 4 mates going full ad/ap, then its pretty nice to have some bonus health

hey i have a question. Why only build Armour and barley any ability power like geting the roa would give u hell dmg with hell health and ik getting the warmog for the massive health but why get all defensive items such as omen or sunfire? wouldnt it be better to get ability power health items?
